the lack of tactical awareness from that side of the field was just 🥴🥴🥴 Y’all letting Julie Ertz sending in a cross in the 96th minute??

...Several more injuries for Zambia, they've had a rough run for sure. I felt bad for Zambia's keeper. I don't think any of the goals were primarily her fault. And she didn't get herself red carded like her predecessor did. Agree the goals weren't primarily her fault. But I think as the 3rd string keeper, you would never expect to get any playing time in a WC. And she got to play a full game and test herself against a top 10 team, with some great moments. A win for her, what an experience.

I’m curious, why don’t they just stop the clock when there’s an injury, rather than add time at the end? And is there someone assigned to keep track how much time has been used?

That's just how they do it. Lets the referee decide exactly when the game ends. And as far as I know, it is the referee and only the referee who decides how much time is added.

In NCAA soccer they stop the clock and it ends exactly on 45 each half (though starting on 45 and counting down to zero I believe).

I wonder if refs keep a stopwatch (or stopwatch mode on a wrist watch), that they use to keep track of "stoppage time" during the match; then once it gets close to the end of each half, they convey their total to the sideline official who displays it on the board.

Wow, that’s a lot of power! I read a sports analytics book that cited stoppage time (the amount of time a referee adds at the end) as this single biggest contributor to home field advantage in any sport. If the home team was trailing, referees would allow more stoppage team than if the home team was protecting a lead.
